Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that contain transitional, savings, or application provisions that cannot be compiled in the reprint are also included, after the principal enactment, in chronological order. For more information, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/reprints/. 2 Status of reprints Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint. This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the prin- cipal enactment and its amendments are contained. 3 How reprints are prepared A number of editorial conventions are followed in the prep- aration of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked 6 Reprinted as at 14 June 1968 New Zealand White Ensign Regulations 1968 Notes are omitted. For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/editorial-conventions/ or Part 8 of the Tables of New Zealand Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force. 4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted. A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legisla- tion reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.

  • Why Does St. Peter's Barge Wear the Blue Ensign?
    Why does St. Peter’s Barge wear the Blue Ensign? St. Peter’s Barge is London’s only floating church, and has spiritually been “flying the flag” in Canary Wharf since arriving at West India Quay in 2004. But until now, unlike many of the other vessels around her, the barge has not been flying an actual flag. This has now changed, and the flag that she flies – or, in nautical terminology – the ensign that she wears – is rather unusual. From 1620 until 1864, the Royal Navy was divided into three squadrons: Red, White and Blue. The Red Squadron, which was the most senior, patrolled the Caribbean and the North Atlantic. The White Squadron patrolled the coasts of Britain and France and the Mediterranean, while the Blue patrolled the South Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. Ships of the three squadrons were identified by a flag or “ensign” of the appropriate colour, each incorporating the red-on-white cross of St. George (patron saint of England): 17 th Century Naval ensigns: Red Ensign White Ensign Blue Ensign Captains of Royal Navy ships arriving in London needed to find a church where they could register the details of any deaths, births or marriages that had occurred during the voyage. Deaths were to be expected, of course, but remarkably there were often some births and occasionally even a marriage, as it was not uncommon for there to be women on board! The church usually chosen as the place of registry was St. Dunstan’s, Stepney, as its large (but then thinly-populated) East London parish extended all the way down to the river.

The Bayeux Tapestry The tapestry also shows us that there was a great need for a better means of identifying the leader, who in this case had to show his face to his troops to reassure them that he was still alive after a rumour went round that he A Crusader had been killed. In an era of increasing maritime activity, these banners also became the means of identifying ships. The three gold lions on a red field, adopted by the English king in 1198, became the banner of the king’s ships, and the red cross of St George, widely adopted by the Crusaders, became the colours of English ships generally.
